Effectors and environment modulating rice blast disease: from understanding to effective control

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRice blast is a highly destructive crop disease that requires the interplay of three essential factors: the virulent blast fungus, the susceptible rice plant, and favorable environmental conditions. Although previous studies have focused mainly on the pathogen and rice, recent research has shed light on the molecular mechanisms by which the blast fungus and environmental conditions regulate host resistance and contribute to blast disease outbreaks.

Strategies for developing phages into novel antimicrobial tailocins
This article reviews three strategies for producing tailocins: disrupting the capsid-tail junction of phage particles, blocking capsid assembly during phage propagation, and creating headless phage particles synthetically. Particularly appealing is the production of tailocins through synthetic biology using phages with contractile tails as scaffolds to unlock the antimicrobial potential of tailocins.PMID:38580606 | DOI:10.1016/j.tim.2024.03.003 (Source: Trends in Microbiology)

Exploring the shared pathogenic strategies of independently evolved effectors across distinct plant viruses
Trends Microbiol. 2024 Mar 22:S0966-842X(24)00058-1. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2024.03.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPlants have developed very diverse strategies to defend themselves against viral pathogens, among which plant hormones play pivotal roles. In response, some viruses have also deployed multifunctional viral effectors that effectively hijack key component hubs to counter or evade plant immune surveillance. Although significant progress has been made toward understanding counter-defense strategies that manipulate plant hormone regulatory molecules, these efforts have often been limited to an individual virus or s...

Revisiting methane-dependent denitrification

Since its initial discovery in 2006, this process has been understood to involve a division of labor between an archaeal group and a bacterial group, which sequentially perform nitrate and nitrite reduction, respectively. Yao et al. have now revised this paradigm by identifying a Methylomirabilis bacterium capable of performing methane-dependent complete denitrification on its own.PMID:38521727 | DOI:10.1016/j.tim.2024.03.007 (Sour...
